Free Time Costume

so there have been more Friday layoffs at my job. I was called into the office and axed—”due to the economy.” still in this state of shock, I roll on out the door, roll with the punches, go back into town, let things stew, then go hang out with a friend who talks a good storm up while I sit mostly quiet with my Halloween listening skills. it’s good to get all that out. I help him organize. I grow even quieter. that bullshit job is still in my head, all the crazy people. how great it will be not to see them any more, those hacks that passed as managers. wow… and now the hunt for money does kick in.
